He was trying to get across the street to the bus station and he had made it as far as the separator in the no-man's land between street and bus loading area. The buses all tend to arrive about the same time and they were whizzing past, while he stood there a little like a bull-fighter, staring each bus down as it approached.

I can more or less always have a good camera and lens with me. I had just crossed the street when I heard the clicking of someone freewheeling down the street on a bike. I had maybe three or four seconds to get the camera out, turned on, and framed up (more or less). There was time for one shot, it was over after that. This isn't great, but I'm new to street style photography, it's not something I've ever tried to do before. It's enormous fun though.
